Once Lobos Chalchuapa, commonly known as Once Lobos, is a professional Salvadoran football club based in Chalchuapa, Santa Ana, El Salvador.
They are the oldest club still active in any form of the El Salvador football league system.
They currently play in the Segunda División, after being relegated in the Clausura 2005.
Once Lobos was founded in 1922, in the historic city of Chalchuapa. They celebrated their first official match against UCA in 1923 and until recently played all of their home games within earshot of the magnificent Tazumal pyramid and its ancient "ball field" from Pre-Columbian times at the "Estadio el Progreso" where the famous tagline was "the grass never progresses". Since December 2002, their home pitch is the Estadio Cesar Hernández in the outskirts of the city. Their ascension to Primera División was achieved on February 7, 1980 at the Óscar Quiteño stadium in the neighboring city of Santa Ana, where they beat UCA in the second and decisive game.
In 1980, Once Lobos were promoted to the top division. Their struggle to fight-off relegation was made more difficult by the league's decision the previous year to remove 2 teams at season's end. Despite this, they finished 9th assuring themselves a spot in the Salvadoran top level of competition one more year. Dragón and Platense were the two clubs relegated that year.
In the 1981 Season, the Chalchuapa side won the "Torneo de Copa" beating the League Champion Atlético Marte by penalties. At the conclusion of the regulation time, the score was tied one all (Once Lobos scorer was W. Barrera at 27‘) and nothing changed in the ensuing 30 minute overtime.
